A moment to remember...

Hi there. I am indeed so bad in starting a blog post, aren't I? So.. let's just go straight to the point.

March 31, 2011.
It was Thursday, if I am not mistaken. My dad was picked me up from IEC (my English course place). It was midnight already, around 10 p.m. I reached home at 10.30 p.m. and still found out that my home's living room was so bright. The lamps were still on and as I opened the gate to let my dad's car in, I heard and saw there were 3 Catholic nuns and my mom still talking and laughing out loud. The nuns suddenly came closer to me, hugged me and said 'congratulations' and I was shock, I didn't even reply their hugs and of course I was so confused. 'What had happened? I didn't even join any competitions, so why did they congratulate me?'

I got inside my home without even put my shoes off. I was too tired and wanted to have a sit first just to relax my body especially my shoulders because my bag was so full with books! Yeah, if you happened ever went to Catholic school, I bet you had the same experience as mine. Brought like 2kgs (sometimes more than it) load inside the bag to school. Crazy. I know.

Mom came closer to me with a big smile, shook my hand, and hugged me so tight and said (again, a word that confusing me) 'congratulations ya kak, mom can't say anything. i am so happy.' Then, mom gave me a huge brown envelope with lots of papers inside. I went through it and found out that I got accepted at Universitas Pelita Harapan (my campus now) with 100% scholarship for 4 years (yeah! for my bachelor degree. cool?). Can you imagine that? I got 100% covered scholarship for 4 years!!!! Parents will not spend any cashes for my school fee. Even more, my scholarship also includes the 3 times meals, uniforms, Alma mater, field trips, and many other miscellaneous things. It even includes my graduation fee. How cool is that, huh?!

I didn't know how to express my happiness at that time. I was so shocked (still) and looked at dad that still stood up not far from me and he was smiling! Yes! I couldn't forget that! He was smiling, dudes!!! I knew that he had known this already, but he kept it from me! Oh yes, my dad is a good secret-keeper. Cool. God is so good, yes? :) Can't thank Jesus enough for His works upon my life. I am so blessed! ♥

And today...
Feb 6, 2013.
I am now studying Primary education at Teachers College - UPH, and I am now in my sophomore year. Four more semester to go, two more upcoming practicums are on the corner and I will face my thesis submission due date. Ahh, can't hardly wait for that time to come :') I’d like to call myself a future education practitioner. Yes, in around 2 years, I’m going to be a teacher. A teacher with her own classroom, her own students, and her new stage of life to be encountered. I’ll be dealing with my first year of teaching. I heard some experiences from some seniors, and yeah, they all sound so overwhelming :)

May God bless me for the rest of my years at Teachers College. May I learn, grow, and unite in Christ as I finish all the things that I have started here.

Have a good sleep :)

Chillin'

Hi all, how was your weekend? Mine was great! I spent my Saturday attending the Health & Physical Education class (yeah, cool :p), joining Bireun Seudati (folklore dance group at my campus) audition though I will not going to the cultural mission in Europe then chilling out with my friends from the other faculties who were joining the audition as well :) I didn't straightly go back to my dorm after we had our late lunch at Serba Food (I really love their XO Fried Rice, nyumm... =9), I spent half of my night at my friend's apartment who are actually my friends from Medan and one of them is my friend since primary school :) :)

We talked like the world is ours, talking with our own hometown dialect (thank God!) without worrying that somebody will get hurts, laughing like there is no tomorrow, taking pictures and so much other fun fun fun things we did today :) So happy that I can met them here. I feel so frustrated talking with the Jakartans people dialect, my tongue is bloody tired :p

Ahh if I have the freedom to leave the dormitory as I want, I would have a sleepover at my friend's apartment tonight and doing crazy stuff for sure. But that's okay though, because the apartment is really close to my dormitory so that I can visit every time just by walking 5 minutes only. Let's count it as an exercise :p

Well, here's the pics for today's post! Hope you enjoy ;)

Hugs and Kisses,

Golda Regina

Just a quick recap.

So, hi everyone.. It has been a long time since my last post ya (I know) :p How are you? I have been not so good but not so bad at all. Last Friday on 12th Oct, I went to the HOPE Counseling and Assessment Center at my campus, UPH. I really thank God that they have their counseling center by themselves. It's free and it's open for public also :) So if you think you really have something to tell or share or everything you name it, please feel free to come. I have experienced the atmosphere there and it's not as scary as I thought it would be. My counselor is Pdt. Yakub B. Susabda, he is jussssst great! He really is helping me a lot to change my mindset about my own self; to see everything in a positive ways. He is my mood booster! Now I can stand on my feet my by self. I am not afraid at all walking by my self, going to the campus, canteen, chapel, wherever it goes alone, by my self. I am not afraid of the saying that I don't have friends because I walk alone. I don't waste my parents' money anymore because I don't have friends to accompany me to eat at the food junction. Yeah, because you know, as a scholarship student, I also have the 3 times free meals, but if I order but I don't take it, I should pay for it. So yeah, from my story, I bet you know that if I don't have friends to eat with me, it's better for me to just pay rather then take the meal and eat. Pathetic, right? So don't ever copy me. Never ever. Hueee :p


So may things I have shared to Pdt. Yakub B. Susabda, but I think let it be my secret between me and him and of course my Jesus Christ :) Thank you Jesus for creating me beautifully inside and outside. Sorry because I have been so down, and low self-esteem, I have been so depressed on the things I shouldn't have to. Sorry for not seeing my own self as Your likeness. Thank you for giving me a great man as Your longing hand to hear all of my left unspoken thoughts. He said he is ready anytime to be my dustbin. Hahaha. Thank also for my parents, my sister, who are also known about this. Thank you for daddy, who always never fail to make my self-confidence up, thank your for mommy who is also never fail to make me laugh, and the last but not least, my crazy little sister with her shyness showing her caring to me though it's not a direct care :p but I know, she means it! :) One thing that always make me put a smile on my face and sometimes giggles a bit when I remember she said, "STOP ILU!" Ilu is cry in Batak language, so basically, she wanted to say, "STOP CRYING!" :) lol Thanks lil' monster {()}


Ok guys, I think it's enough until there. Let's talk about another thing. So, I went to Social Media Festival 2012 eventually. Praise the Lord! :) Can't thank Jesus enough for this. I thought I couldn't come at all. But Jesus led the way! He made it! I went on its last day of the event. I met and visit super awesome people and booths that have been exists in the cyber world. They are also awesome! I didn't regret a bit though it was a quite tiring walk to catch there. Hehehe. So I went to @cardtopost's booth and @GambarHarian's booth. I meant that's the only booth I wanted to pay a visit to at first before I came there and saw lot of great booths also :p Yayness, I met the owner of cardtopost there. It has been a long time since I met him. (duileeeh kayak udah lama kenal aja, Goldaaaa *bangun-bangun*) I took pictures with him too and I posted it on my instagram hehehe. Oh, I have instagram now, please feel free to follow @goldaregina :) One of the photo with him now had been my profile picture on Facebook ;) Hehehe. I also take pictures with kak Thari from Gambar Harian and kak ijotoska whom I have been reading her blog for quite some time :) I took pictures at her 2 booths; Anjing Gombal and Picnic (the last one I forgot :p) Well, eumm, what else.. Ah, at the picnic booth, I took pictures with kak ijotoska's friend from the Kos_Kas booth, he is kak Basyri (if I am not mistaken :p) hahaha. I also got the goodie bags from Persembahan Untuk Alam from Teh Kotak and Kaskus! So happy! :) I bought a tee also from www.hiduplahindonesiaraya.com and shared it with the random foreigners I met there who was also galau which one should we buy. Me and this yah quite handsome bule wanted to buy all the tees but lack of rupiahs. lol So the bule finally just bought the cap. hahahha.


Ah its all not really but its enough to summarize the past 2 weeks what's on in my life :) hehehe. I hope you never feel bored reading my blog :p Here is some of the photos: click to see on my Facebook


Bye, I have full class today from 8am till 4pm and 6pm I have to practice Saman dance :) Wish you great day! God bless y'all :) {()}

Send Me Out

Over the past few weeks I've been talking with my parents about overcoming struggles. Not the day to day little stuff that comes up but the deep-rooted-seems-to-keep-bugging-me-at-all-the-wrong-times struggles.

Throughout this lent season I've been praying for security and surrender to God's sovereignty. One area this prayer has taken the lead is in the area of calling - what is God calling me to do?

It wasn't untill when I introduced to the song Send Me Out by Steve Fee. After getting more comfortable with the song, singing felt like the words were coming straight from my heart and then it hit me - could this be my calling?

I'm thankful because when I am focused on the things that are in line with God's will, those deep-rooted-seems-to-keep-bugging-me-at-all-the-wrong-times struggles definitely don't go away, but they can't compare to the possibilities of what God can do.



P.S: Happy Easter everyone!!! *LOVE*

Am I?

 tumblr.

For 14 years of my life being a student, this is the first time I asked the lecturer for an extended time to assign my assignment. Never in my life, I asked extended time for my assignment no matter how difficult it was. This is why I hate group work the most. I can't do it the way I want it to. I can't do it faster. I need to ask, discuss with the group members. But this is the fact. Damn! They don't even care. They are just too passive and when I took an action by giving ideas, they disprove it. You know what, when the due date came and they just realized that the assignment has not finished yet, they just shocked in seconds then phewww.... it just flew with the wind. They didn't want to think what should we do to make the assignment done and they didn't have the politeness to discuss, to explain to the lecturer why we didn't finish the assignment on time. Again, I am the one who is always being proactive. I don't care about what will they say about the assignment, I have done it by my self and still continuing, and I just emailed my lecturer hours ago about the lateness and asked for the extended time.

O, God bless me! I am tired *crying*

"Stay calm. You're going to do fine this semester. Everything is alright."

...., am I?

P.S: Hope you won't have the same experienced just like me. It totally h.u.r.t.s! Really.

Hand in Hand with Jesus

Like what Jesus said in the Bible that each day has its own cares, I believe that each semester does too. Like each season has its own fragrance, I believe that each semester also has its own lessons to be learned. When I look back to this passing semester, I can find myself learning a lot. One of the lessons that deeply touched me is a bout beginning the day with Jesus and making the most of the opportunity every day.

This semester I take eight classes, 23 credits scheduled from Monday to Friday; have five mandatory chapels and devotions on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday morning and Friday evening from Teachers College; and also have daily devotion at 5.30 a.m. and 9.00 p.m. on Monday to Friday at dorm. In the midst of the tightness of the schedule, for countless times I have been thinking about giving up. I feel so tired and stressed out with the many things that are needed to be handled. I feel like being stuck in a routine that is repeating over and over again every day. The boredom was getting even worse until I reached the point where I woke up in the morning, the first thing came up to my mind was: "it's just another day". In other words, I can sum up my days in this semester like this: wake up, check the to do list for the day, off to bed, wake up again and repeat all the same things back to the top.

One night, when I was reading a book, I read this simple yet touching sentence that changed my days from that moment on: "Every time you get a fresh start, a chance to begin again, Jesus is right there at the center of it. His forgiveness empowers us to look ahead, not back." After reading that sentence, I reflected on how I began my days. I began my days with a just-another-day thought. But then that sentence reminded me that Jesus is in the center of each new beginning of the day and each day has its own opportunities to be seized. So, I wake up this morning not only check the "to do list" but also to begin again with Jesus and in hope that I can make the most of every opportunity I have today.

☺ WAKE UP AND BEGIN AGAIN ☺

Hasian

So, yesterday I checked Twitter timeline and found out @angga1402’s tweet said exactly the one that I sent the message to mom and dad this morning. When I read the tweet, I was laughing so hard and went ReTweet it straightly. It was very funny! At first, I just want to have fun with my dad and mom by sending them that tweet. I didn’t have any idea that their answer would be like that. Never crossed my mind. It was really beyond my thought. Especially my dad, he is sooo plain. HAHA! If only I were a materialistic daughter, I would send this everyday. HOHO. :P Peace out, daddy! :D It was so contrary with my mom’s replied. So stingy of you lah, mommyyyy! LOL :D :D She replied: Begu which means Hantu in Batak laguange. What a great morning started with a warm laugh. Thank you Jesus {()}

P.S: Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been sooo busy with my assessments and assignments. Also, please pray for me so that I can get well very soon. Thank you so much lovely earthlings :)

...... just can't get enough

People, how you guys doing? Hope everything's going smoothly.
Yeah, my blog is dead for real, I know. I am sorry anyway. I know it's a lil' bit late to welcome March, but here I am, talking to you. No matter what it is, I just hope March will be a good month (in fact, it is not..so far). People, if you in my position, you'll know what I'm feeling right now, this second, and when you do, I'm sure that you want to scream out loud those things which you've kept inside for so-so long time ago. Well, there are so many not-so-good-things happened recently. I don't know where to start. It's just I really dislike people who love to insult races. We do have many different kind of races in our country. But why do we seem to see that as a problem?

I am here in Teachers College where you can find the students from all over Indonesia. I have one friend, my classmate, from East Indonesia, who like to insult the way I talked and the vocabulary that I used. She said that Medan people broke the vocabulary of Bahasa. Bitch, please. It is okay if she insulted it once, I am not that serious person, I took it as a joke, but she kept insulting it and it was getting on my nerves. Yaa, lama-lama panas juga kan kalau dihina terus, mentang-mentang kita nggak marah jadi seenak jidat begitu menghina-hina orang. Until I became angry and shouted out loud to her that I didn't like her attitude. If you want to make a joke, please, don't put things about races there. We are not the same type of person, note that!

I asked God, why He put us here with many kinds of cultures, ethnics if only it will just make each of us keep insulting one another? But, I look up to the sky & see the light of Him, I feel He has touched my heart. I learned each & every day in life that even in the worst time, there are always blessings inside of it. I realized that I've done so many things that hurt Him, I just can't thank Him enough until today, He still love me and ask for nothing. He made my mood happy again through these lovely couple, kak Eda and Nadya :)

I am addicted to these couple above. They are so humble, friendly, funny and cuteee >,< Looking forward to meet them again, hopefully soon :D

P. S: I have a primary science and technology field trip to Kebun Raya Bogor tomorrow. Gotta prepare the stuff and sleep afterward :) Nighty night :}

till then,

Golda Regina

Awesome Blessings

...................."Aduh Miss, kemaren aku kejedut, jadinya aku lupa deh."

Davin, bocah kelas 4 SD itu sukses membuat aku cengo', nggak berdaya tapi nggak bisa nggak ketawa ngakak juga. Iya, jadi sekarang dunia ku udah nggak se-flat dulu lagi. Sekarang selain kuliah, cari ilmu sebanyak-banyaknya, aku mengajar disalah satu tempat di daerah Gading Serpong. Muridnya macem-macem, nggak tentu. Kadang aku bisa hanya mengajari 1 anak, kadang 3 sekaligus dengan grade yang berbeda-beda dan pelajaran yang berbeda-beda. Sempet kewalahan, apalagi tingkat kecerdasan mereka berbeda-beda. Ada yang cepet nangkep, cepat pula ngerjain tugas yang aku kasih, tapi ada pula yang lambat sehingga kadang suka ngebuat si anak yang cepet nangkep itu nungguin. Kasihan kalau harus dibiarin diam gitu, tapi mau gimana, wong si adek satu belum kelar-kelar ngertinya. Hihihihi.

Murid pertama ku namanya Valerie, kalau disekolahnya sih dia grade Learners C, yaudah sih supaya kita juga nggak bingung, sebut aja TK :p Anaknya lincah banget! Dan untuk seumuran dia, dia itu termasuk anak yang cukup pintar, nggak cuma cukup, tapi pintar banget! Aku ngasih penjumlahan 50-100an dia bisa. Cerdas nggak tuh?! Tapi ngajarin Valerie itu butuh kesabaran extra banget banget, dia suka nggak betah duduk lama-lama belajar. Jadi suka lari sana lari sini. Jadi berhitung sama dia sambil belajar PE deh. Makasih ya nak, Miss jadi kurusan se-ons hahahaha {()}

Hari berikutnya ngajar, langsung digerombolin sama 3 anak. Untungnya semua grade 4 tapi pelajarannya pada beda-beda. Aaaaaa, Miss mau mati ngajarnya naaak. Murid-muridku namanya Davin, Gustavo dan Fidelia. Davin itu muridnya lucu, asik, sama cerewetnya kayak Miss nya. Hahaha. Kalau Gustavo, dia pendiam, tapi proaktif juga jadi belajar mengajarnya nggak canggung deh ;) Oh ya, Gustavo juga hafalannya jago loh, cepet banget ngafalin sesuatu. Kemarin Gustavo ulangan, semoga hasilnya bagus ya nak. Miss nggak ketemu kamu hari ini :) Nah kalau Fidelia ini kakaknya Valerie. Dia juga pendiam tapi pinter banget matematika, tapi susah kalau hafalan :p ^^V

 

Gustavo nggak ada fotonya, katanya "Malu ah Miss" :p

Nah hari ini aku ngajar lagi, ketemu lagi deh sama Davin :D Kali ini Davin agak kalem, tetep cerewet tapi nggak pake banyak gerakan tubuh. Hehehe.Hari ini itu bener-bener "nyatu" banget sama Davin. Aku seperti guru, kakak, sekaligus mama nya dia. Agak lebay sih tapi nggak tau kenapa, rasanya ada sesuatu di anak ini yang bikin aku "tertarik" dan berasa "kepancing" untuk terus ngikutin perkembangannya dia. Apalagi tadi waktu ngajarin Davin matematika kita kompak banget, ya walaupun aku masih kadang suka nggak ngerti Davin ngomong apaan hihihi :p Tadi Davin ngasih liat aku buku Communication Agenda sekolahnya. Padahal kata Davin, nggak semua orang boleh baca itu. Tapi Davin kasih buku itu ke aku. Kata Davin sih, karena dia malu, karena isinya kebanyakan komentar negatif dari homeroomnya. Darisitu aku semakin termotivasi untuk bisa meng-encourage Davin buat belajar lebih giat lagi. Juga masalah Davin dengan mama nya dirumah. Dia cerita pelan, kadang wajahnya sedih tapi lebih sering sih penuh semangat :D Emosinya dapet banget deh. Banyak banget ngobrol bareng Davin hari ini. Seneng deh :) Tersentuh bnaget *beneran*

"Miss, Davin janji mau rajin belajar biar nilai ulangannya jadi 70 ya Miss. Boleh nggak Miss? Eh jangan Miss jangan, 80 aja ya Miss yaa. Trus mau rajin berdoa, nggak ngomong yg nggak baik lagi dan nggak kata-katain mama lagi."

"Oh iya Miss, lupa! Rajin buat PR juga :D"

Tuhan makasih banyak sebanyak-banyaknya udah kasih hadiah indah banget buat aku. Anak-anak ituuuuu. Ahhh nggak terbilang harganya *ambil tissue* *nangis* *beneran*

P.S: Post ini sekalian buat ikutan giveawaynya kak Gogo. Welcome to the new world of mine with those cutey kiddos, kak! :D Oh iya, aku tau blog kakak dari blognya si abang kodok ijo, aku tau blognya si kodok ijo dari blognya kak enno, di blog rollnya gitu ada blognya mereka rame-rame, ya biasa kak, masih SMA kan waktu itu, masih kepo-keponya, sampe sekarang sih sebenarnya :P Dan ternyata kita satu daerah asal ya kak, Seneng deh. *loncat pagar* :D :D kiss kiss :* :* :* {()}

Hey, Brother!

Morning! I hope your day is good. Although mine was not pretty good but I try to chin up and smile because I believe, I will walk through all these difficulties. As finals are coming real soon, it means that we're going to end our first 7week in our second semester. Time flies!

Well, I was so happy last week that I met my brother eventually. When he came to my hometown for a long break from his collage life, that was also the time for me to fly here to Jakarta to pursue my education. It was such a sad moment in my life. I really miss him! Since he was accepted in ISI Jogjakarta, he often said to me that Jogja is actually his home. He likes everything in Jogja, well, not literally everything, but most. He said that, if it was not because of our parents, he would never go back again to Medan (which shocked me) and he meant it!

Last Christmas, it had been also such a gloomy Christmas, well, at least for me. No brothers at home. Yes, It was just the four of us. My pop wasn't had any holidays during Chritsmas week until New Year. He just had one day break right on the Christmas day and had to go back to work as usual the next day. It was also happened the same thing on New Year, the different was, my pop asked for 2 days break as we were going to pay a visit to my pop's hometown to visit my one and only grandma and pay a visit to my grandpop's grave. Nothing much happened.

Ok, so, now you know how much I miss my brother. Last January, he texted me said that he will come to Jakarta on February as his art had been accepted in Kopi Kelling online exhibition. As Kopling (the short name of Kopi Keliling) will celebrate their first birthday in the 20th day of February, they were planning to have an offline exhibition. The birthday itself actually fell on Monday which was a  work day, so they made it one day before the exact day on Sunday the 19th. They invited all the artists which their arts being exhibited. My brother found it could be a fun event, so he decided to come along with his 2 friends, one of them also joined the SWAP Party. He came starightly from Jogja by bus! So brave of him, right? Thumbs up :p

How happy I was at that time. I bet you can imagine it. Well, I live here in Lippo Karawaci which is I find it really far from everywhere. I am still a newbie and I don't know what bus should I take to go somewhere outside Lippo Village. I was kind of depressed at that time because the desire to meet my brother would fail. I did search on the internet but it wasn't gave me any clues but confused me. I did also ask my seniors and friends who came from Jakarta but I got nothing. They were compacted to say "Don't know". I was like .....

But I didn't stop there. I kept on praying to God that I really wanted to meet my brother. Even though I was so galau one day before, I did kept praying and praying to God to stenghten my decision and giving me bravery to go even without any friend accompanied me. I didn't talk much as usual, I wasn't cheerful as I used to; my roommate, kak Yenny even didn't have the courage to joke with me. After the student fellowship on Friday night, I went straightly back to my dormitory and slept. I woke up at 5 a.m. and still confused whether I went or not. But I didn't know why, I directly came down from my bed and immediately shower. By 6, I had breakfast alone and went straight to the toll.

I didn't know who pushed me to have the courage to ask to one of the women who had just came down from the public transportation with me. I asked her which bus should I take if I want to go to Blok M and she answered me nicely and said, you can take the bus number 34. How thankful I was! There was one bus number 138 stopped there and this woman suddenly said to me that I also could go by it, even faster! Can't find any words to describe how thankful I am! I immediately got into the bus. Such a beautiful morning at that time. I couldn't imagine that the street was very quite and the trip was really pleasant. There were no singers (pengamen), no jams, not many passengers at the bus and the weather was so very supportive. I could see the street through the window without anyone disturbing me.

 The location was at That's Life Coffee, Gunawarman Street no. 24, South Jakarta. I arrived there beyond my expectation. I arrived at 8 a.m. and that was sooooo fast! But the owner of that coffee shop, kak Arris was really welcome. He is very friendly. We talked quite much, we laughed while waiting for others to come and display their arts on the wall of the cafe. The clock was shown at 10 and not long after that, my brother came with his two friends. Finally.

Kyaaa. I met him! I met him, guys!!! After 6 months and now we were met each other. HUGS!!!

P.S: There are still so much I want to tell you guys about my trip and the birthday party at the next day, but I have to go now. I have a care group party with my ex care group leader this morning. More photos will come soon. For more info about SWAP PARTY you can go to this link: http://kopikeliling.com/news/swap-party.html

Have a nice weekend buddies!

TOGE NIGHT is TOGETHER NIGHT, the togetherness party right on the Valentine's Day held by the Spiritual Growth UPH.

Oh yeah, anyway, it was my first experience, celebrating Valentine's Day at UPH. It was a wee bit not crowded compared to my expectation before, but still, I enjoyed it much! :)

Anyway, I had just reached dorm. We had dinner over at UPH's Olympic swimming pool.  There were lots of food. Hotdog, spaghetti, French fries, pudding, soft drinks, and roasted corn. I was fully full :D And as a result, I'm sleepy. HAHA. I guess, I need some beauty sleep right now. Oh well, let's call it a day, a good one. Once again, happy Valentine's Day y'all. xxx.

Count your happiness! #1

I stumbled upon Alodita's blog and find out this post about happiness. I read through it all without missing any single thing there. I started to think that instead of grumbling allllll the time, why didn't I just count my happiness today? So, here is today's happiness:

1. I woke up later than usual at 6.00 o'clock and didn't have to woke up earlier because I had to submit my homework by seven o'clock because one of my classmate texted me last night that she would love to collect it all to the lecturer's pigeon hole. She volunteered herself. ;D
2. I met my favourite singer kak Eda who used to be the vocalist of POTENZIO at UPH garden this morning! He remembered my name! Oh wow! I can't stop smiling even until now I typed this. And he gave me high-five twice! We had a chit chat for 5 minutes and it was such uh-wow for me. I loveeeee him so much! He is so humble even he's quite famous now. What a morning! :D :D :D
3. Mr. WhatsApp whatsapp-ed me today! I don't know why, but whenever he whatsapps me, I am just happy. The feeling is like when you are waiting a text or a phone call from your lover. Happy to the max and ngangenin :p
4. My supervisor gave me her handmade; early Valentine's chocolate cake. It was the very first time for her baking cake and it tasted not bad ;)
5. I received my parcel from ROMWE today and I got it for FREE! Woohooo ;D

Tell me, what's yours?

P. S: Until we meet in the second happiness! <3 <3

@MUS_2012

I have done my interviewed with the judges of Miss UPH Scholar 2012 this morning. A little bit nervousness is okay, right? :D I have tried my best to answer the questions calmly and now let God do the rest.

X: "What major did you take at UPH?"
Y: "I took Education. Primary Education."
X: "Education? Did you mean you will be a primary teacher?"
Y: "Yes yes and yes!"
X: "But why was it?"
Y: "Because God said so. God wanted me to bring a better Indonesia."
X: "Hahaha... You kidding me!"
Y: "Teaching is my calling and nothing's funny in it. Laugh at yourself."

Many people want to direct the path our nation will take, but teachers can help our children and community grow into the future. Being a teacher isn't a job. It's absolutely a calling! If you become a teacher just because you don't have any choices of job, you are definitely lost! My passion is to become a primary teacher, I do really want to touch my students' heart since they were kids. I want them to have the right foundation of education since they were kids. I want to prepare them to become the leaders for tomorrow with the heart which contains fear of God, so that whatever they do, they will do it just for the glory of God. Only a few people can prepare the new generation for Indonesia's future. I want become one of those few people.

"Teach a child and you touch the future."

For Every Beauty Is Timeless

 

It's one of the picture that we took yesterday. But I didn't give it to the committee. I chose the other one. I will share to you later, because the connection isn't good at dorm nowadays. Kind of hard for me to upload the pictures because each photo took 5MB capacity. I don't want to re-size it because it's look weird. Wish me luck for the audition, folks! :)

P.S : Have a good good night, fellas! :)

Have a sneak peak

I haven't written for so long but there's a decent reason for that. Nothing extraordinary, but life has been really demanding. Have you noticed that with each year that passes, life gets increasingly hectic? I get so busy with everyday life that I forget I need to "live" in order to appreciate life.

Well, the memories that still crystal clear stay in my mind are my GPA and the form of MUS that I haven't filled yet.

Yes, so last Monday, I got my very first GPA as a college student. My GPA was 3,44. I didn't satisfy because seemed like my hard work for 1 semester didn't pay off. I am surely sure that I deserve more than this. I was schocked knowing that 2 of classmates can get higher than us, well, am not saying that am the smartest student in the class and am not underestimate them either. Well, I hate to underestimate people and being underestimated. But, I knew for sure who did well with the assignments that had given by our lecturers, who did well during class discussion, class presentations. I can't say that I also knew about their final exam, but one thing for sure, the ratio between the grade of assignments and final exam last semester was 50:50 and these two friends of mine, ever got F (Failed) in their assignments and never get at least B in their assignments. So how come that they got higher than me? They were not worth the grade, I think.

I still didn't understand about the grades' calculation and I was sooo curious that I was about to complain to my lecturers and wanted to see the complete mark of each assignments and final exam. My ex care group leader, my brother and even my father said that my GPA was good already and they said it was a nice step to get higher in the next semester. They said, if happened I got 3,60 above this semester which the subjects still the general ones, I will quite hard to defense on it because this semester, the subjects that had given from the bureau of academic administration were all content and I have to fight and work harder in order to get high GPA too.

It took quite long time for me to accept this fact, but as I was reflecting this last night and got lots of supported from the people I love, I think I MUST accept this, be grateful because there are still so many students who got lower than me which means I am not that worse, and the most important thing is, I MUST PROVE TO THEM THAT I CAN GET BETTER THIS SEMESTER. Will you wish me luck? Anyway, time flies. It flies so fast that I have just realized that I'm in my week 4 of my semester 2 being a college student. In another upcoming 4 months, I will get all these stuff done and voila, I hope I am able to pass my 1st year with satisfying grades. Amen.

The second one is, well, do you guys know Miss Indonesia 2009? Yes, she is Astrid Ellena. She was also Miss UPH Scholar 2008 (if am not mistaken). So, there is an usual event that held by UPH which is Miss UPH Scholar. It's look like beauty peagent competition. What make it different is there is no physical terms if you want to be a part of this competition. So you don't have to be like those supermodels to enter this. That is what I like the most about this event that they let all girls to take part. Because I think every girl is beautiful and deserve all the best things.

So, I have one friend named Cia who registered all of us to join this MUS 2012. I do really want to join actually because competition is sooo me but not this time. I am not prepare enough. This is suddenly sudden. The first audition will be held this coming Feb 11 and we should returning back the registration form with the completed terms on Feb 10. I don't even touch the form until right now. It just 3 days until the audition. Can you guess, guys? Well, the form already in my hand. I should fill it out. Challenge accepted! I will have a photoshoot tomorrow morning after the devotion with the help of my senior as the photographer. Wish us luck for tomorrow so I can give the best for me, family, friends, you and my Jesus, will you? :)

P.S: I'm getting more and more unorganized with my diet and kind of disappointed that I don't have a good appetite management. (Hope this doesn't portray how pessimist I am) Been living for almost 19 years and pretty much clueless if I will end up being single because I am too fat or ugly I can't even win a man's heart. Forever alone. Just keep praying for me! :P
